My husband works for his father at his automotive repair shop as the office manager. He is salaried, but his parents still make him punch in and out so they can "tally" his hours. His mom called him the other day about his hours, saying that because he took a couple of Saturdays off to help coach our sons baseball team that was without a coach, that his hours didnt add up to 45 hours a week which is what they want them to add up to. He is adding up to about 43 hours a week. Because of this, they are telling him they cutting his entire last paycheck of the year. Is this possible??FULL EXPLANATION OF SITUATION:He never signed a contract stating he had to work 45 hours a week. There are some weeks he worked 50 hours, some where he worked 48, etc. They were running a tally on his hours. Because he took those couple of Saturdays off (he only needs 2.5 hours of Saturdays to add up to 45 hours a week, but he works 5 hours on Saturdays usually.) They are now saying he is a week "behind" on hours (meaning those Saturdays off added up to a week without working which in my calculation isnt possible whatsoever!!) So they are saying they are taking those hours and cutting them from his pay, which is basically his whole last week of the years check..--Answer1:A normal salary job is 40 hrs per week. Unless he is getting paid overtime for the 5 hours each week, then it looks like they are taking advantage of the family ties. Something is out of whack here. Does he inherit the company at some point? If yes, then maybe he wants to stick it out. Otherwise, he has the option to look for other employment..--Answer2:Depending on which state he works in, even though he is salaried, it is possible he has to be compensated overtime for any hours over 40 per week if he does not meet a certain $$ threshold. With that being said, hopefully he has a record of all the hours he has worked over the course of the year. If he was "supposed" to work 45 hours a week for the year, then he should have worked 2340 hours total. This is not counting for a vacation which is usually 2 weeks, so that would drop the hour total down to 2250 for the year. In order for the Saturdays to count for an entire 45 hour period, with you saying they only need 2.5 hours from him on Saturdays, would require 18 Saturdays to not be worked.Either they are taking advantage of him because of the family bond, which is lower than low in my book, or he has missed a lot more time than just those Saturdays.
